About χ & h

This is my personal web site, where I make resources available to friends, family, and anyone else who may find them. The name "chiandh" - although even more difficult to spell - is shorter than my real name, Horst Meyerdierks. I have been an amateur astronomer for most of my life, and χ & h Persei is a double star cluster that we used to direct our binoculars at a long time ago.
